Entretien
I applied online at Amazon.com around October 2016. I received the first coding assessment in late December. After passing the debug section with 7/7 and doing pretty well on the logic questions, I received the second assessment the following day.
The second assessment consisted of two coding questions. Think LeetCode Easy. After getting 18/18 for test cases on the first problem and 14/18 for test cases on the second, a recruiter reached out to me wanting to set up a 45 minute phone interview. I've heard if you do well enough on the second assessment you can receive an offer right away without needing a phone interview.
The phone interview was your pretty typical technical screen. I was asked to complete two coding problems and explain the time complexity for each of my algorithms. The interviewer then modified the problems a bit and I had to adjust accordingly. These problems I would also consider to be LeetCode Easy/Medium. I thought I didn't do well enough on the phone interview, but nevertheless received an offer in my email a few days later.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together

Recruiter reached out and set up an onsite loop after the initial steps. Four back to back rounds in one day. Two coding heavy rounds run by senior engineers, one round with the hiring manager, and one behavioral round with a bar raiser. Mix of leadership principles and data structures throughout. Heard back within a week.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Standard BFS grid problem. Given a grid, find the time for all cells to reach a target state where the spread happens one layer at a time.
How did you answer: Clarified the constraints, walked through the approach, then coded a clean BFS from all starting points at once. Tracked the number of layers until everything was covered.
